So many people who come to a strategy session tell me how much they want to change their life towards others, start a business, be successful, etc., but when I offer the help and support that they admit they need, they say they want to think about it. This is probably why their lives haven't changed; they are still thinking about changing. But thinking doesn't always lead to action. In fact, in this situation it only leads to inaction. What's the best way to deal with this?

Unfortunately there's no magic pill, one size fits all, that's available. What works for some people may not work for others. We are all on different paths. You have to find what works for you. Is it negative people? Is it fear? Is it inspiration to avoid others while maintaining self-positive? Perhaps, because we cannot always choose the people we wish to be surrounded by, we sometimes have to deal with negative people.

There is an old saying misery loves company. This has been proven to be true time and time again when surrounded by those who tend to see the bad or have a negative outlook on life. No matter how anyone may try, there is no pleasing a negative person; they tend to complain about even the insignificant things in life. Negative people try their best to make everyone around them as miserable as they are; some even get pleasure from witnessing the misery of others. From experience, when dealing with negative people, keep in mind no one should have the power over you to control the directions of your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

But sometimes you just can't avoid them. They may be family, or in-laws, or neighbors, or people you work with. So how do you protect yourself from being negatively affected (or "infected") by these negative people? Listen to this book to find out how.
